can you die from lymphoma?

Question

Answer 1

Yes: Unfortunately, yes, people can die from lymphoma.

Answer 2

Yes: This day and age unlikely. Significant numbers of patients can be cured with early detection and treatment.

Answer 3

Yes: Unfortunately, childbirth can still cause death. This is usually from bleeding, general anesthesia or stroke. Your best bet to reduce this risk is to start your pregnancy healthy. Eat a balanced diet, exercise and control any medical problems you do have. Nothing can take the risk to zero but you would be surprised how much you can do!

Answer 4

Yes: Childbirth can be very hard on the mother. The risk of maternal death is small but it does exist. Talk to your OB doctor if you have any concerns or questions.

Answer 5

Crack them: Live nits will pop if cracked between the nails, whereas dead ones won't and can be picked.

Answer 6

Nits dead or alive: According to the centers for disease control, if the nit has traveled a quarter inch down the length of the hair strand, it probably has either hatched or died.

Answer 7

Probably not: Unlike many other physicians, i believe that chronic fatigue syndrome is real, and an immune disturbance due to some unknown virus or viruses. However, if people were dying of it, we'd almost certainly recognize some characteristic lesion. If you have cfs, good luck -- it generally remits after a while, and low-dose antidepressants and/or simply practicing new life skills seems to help some.

Answer 8

No.: No one dies of cfs. Remeber, it is a syndrome with no specific diagnostic marker. Most causes for chronic fatigue syndrome, miss a common and correctable problem. If you truly have cfs, it will not kill you. However, if you forgo exercise and don't maintain a good weight, these factors will hasten anyone's demise!

Answer 9

Yes, it is possible: There are different types of lymphomas which can range from slow growing to rapidly progressive. All lymphomas, even low grade can lead to death if not treated.

Answer 10

Yes: Ignore lymphoma and it will kill you, unless you die of something else first. Depending on the subtype, it can take either a few days or many years. Many lymphomas are curable and all are at least somewhat manageable today.

Answer 11

The natural history: of lymphoma varies widely according to its type and aggressiveness. At one extreme, a lymphoblastic lymphoma may visibly enlarge on a daily basis and, left untreated, will be fatal in days to weeks. At the other extreme, an indolent follicular or small cell lymphoma, may grow slowly for 5 years or more. Other types fall between these two extremes.
